Infowars founder and host Alex Jones spoke with conservative commentator Glenn Beck on Friday about the latest updates regarding satire news website “The Onion” allegedly purchasing Infowars in a court auction.
Jones explained US Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez held an emergency meeting on Thursday evening where he expressed anger at the way the auction process was handled.
The terms of the auction were changed days before it was held, allowing the U.S. Trustee overseeing the sale to select any bidder and not the highest.
Bidders were also prevented from seeing other bids and were not told credit could be used.
According to Jones, Judge Lopez said, “I did not authorize you to have this auction. We were supposed to have hearings because you were making claims that violate the 13th Amendment against slavery.”
Lopez reportedly then excoriated the Trustee and said there will now be a full evidence hearing sometime next week.
“My lawyers say it’s cut-and-dry, in [trustee Christopher Murray’s] own admissions on the stand, that they had BID COLLUSION,” Jones said.
“They’re so arrogant that when the judge said do an auction, they acted like they were going to do an auction up until 2 days before on Monday afternoon,” he added. “[Then] they throw out the real auction, pretend they have an auction, and admit they did all of this! It is so ridiculously fraudulent on its face that my lawyers are speechless right now that they would even try it.”
